It seems to me that if people are going to pay anywhere from $3, 000- $12,000 for machines that embroider, quilt and sew - that there is a market for a TV show. I found this blog searching for shows on TV. Although classes are available with the purchase of the machine, some of us have small children or in my case, a special needs adult that we care for and can't always get out to take classes. I really support sewing shows on TV.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-72726657584900995972009-10-24T13:11:10.389-04:002009-10-24T13:11:10.389-04:00Very interesting comments.

As I am researching the need aspect at the momment I will be checking back to see if those following this blog are indeed interested in this type of programming.<br />I need to show that viewers are out there in order to make a presentation to the producers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-23168954238949610302009-10-19T09:59:37.005-04:002009-10-19T09:59:37.005-04:00Hi, I have been reading your blog sporadically for...Hi, I have been reading your blog sporadically for awhile but haven't posted before. I REALLY miss Shirley Adams, now that is one talented sewist. She is above Betzina for me, too bad she isn't on TV any more.

I also watch sewing with Nancy and Martha's sewing room. I recorded 99% of those shows. I am totally disgusted with television programming. You have to pay money to view Sandra Betzina on line. It's not the same. How do you save those shows for future reference, most of the show allow unlimited access for 1-year, then is over. Of course you can buy dvd of those shows. So you wind up paying twice.<br />It is such a disservice to the home sewing communityMariela Alethiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00109474450521019305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-22000013016081698362009-10-15T14:04:55.099-04:002009-10-15T14:04:55.099-04:00I found your blog on Faye's and you must have ...I found your blog on Faye's and you must have read my mind. I love Sewing with Nancy, I think I've been watching her for 20 of her 25 yrs and I have learned a lot, she was pretty much my only resource when I started sewing.I LOVE Sandra Betzina, she use to have a weekly column in my local paper, I still have copies of it in my sewing journal. I wholeheartly agree with you we need more sewing shows and from the blogs I read there's no shortage of potential host/hostesses.

If you like motor racing, rugby league, rugby union, soccer, Aussie rules, tennis or any other ball sport you can name, you are well catered for here. If you like cooking you are well catered for, too. Even home renovations are pretty well covered. I'd watch anything, presented by anyone, if it was sewing related!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274649006496918800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-56410225198960446312009-10-14T15:06:50.879-04:002009-10-14T15:06:50.879-04:00I'd watch Kenneth on TV.

Ideally the next star would be hip, with a young viewpoint, and v. knowledgeable. I don't care about educational cred but the ability to sew impeccably a stylish garment with no "kitch". Don't you wish Tany lived in the US? Yes, Tany would be perfect!<br /><br />I also agree, Nancy has pretty much touched it all, but I would love to see her repeat for the sake of emphasizing garment sewing. Quilters keep edging the garment sewists out for some reason....Kenneth King would be very entertaining.....BunnyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-43331653003191371742009-10-14T07:04:37.887-04:002009-10-14T07:04:37.887-04:00Actually, KK was on a series years ago.
